Roberto Di Matteo is confident John Terry and David Luiz will be fit for Chelsea's FA Cup quarter-final against Leicester on Sunday.
Blues captain Terry failed to finish Wednesday night's Champions League triumph over Napoli, while centre-back partner Luiz was limping badly afterwards with an ankle injury.
Caretaker manager Di Matteo looks set to make changes after many players completed 120 minutes in midweek, while Raul Meireles is available after suspension.
Paul Konchesky comes back into the reckoning for Leicester.
Konchesky has served a three-match suspension following his red card during the Championship victory over midlands rivals Coventry at the start of the month.
Manager Nigel Pearson must decide whether to restore the former Liverpool full-back to the starting XI or stick with Tom Kennedy, who has deputised in Konchesky's absence but also played in the last round at Norwich when he was selected ahead of Konchesky.
Fellow defender Matt Mills, midfielder Ben Marshall and strikers Steve Howard and Jeff Schlupp are also pushing for recalls.
Midfielder Danny Drinkwater, back-up goalkeeper Conrad Logan and teenage defender Liam Moore are cup-tied.
Chelsea (from): Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Luiz, Cahill, Cole, Bertrand, Romeu, Mikel, Essien, Meireles, Ramires, Lampard, Mata, Malouda, Drogba, Torres, Sturridge, Kalou, Turnbull.
